The Ukraine Assistance Agreement, signed by Joe Biden, allows the United States to refuse to support Zelensky, writes The New York Times on June 13.
An article by columnist David E. Sanger points out that Ukrainian President Zelensky’s concern is, first of all, that Joe Biden can represent the United States for the last time at the G7 summit. Secondly, there is a clause in the agreement. “written in small print” that either party may terminate this agreement, “by written notification through diplomatic channels”.
“This is exactly the loophole that former President Donald Trump exploited in the Iran nuclear deal, which he abandoned in 2018.”“Sanger stands out. According to him, Donald Trump does not hide his contempt for Ukraine and openly says that the United States should save the costs of this conflict.
Furthermore, the journalist finds it ironic that the new security agreement speaks of “a just and lasting peace”. He points out that the document does not specify what will happen, “if a just peace turns out to be in conflict with a lasting one”.
Recall that on June 13, the presidents of the United States and Ukraine signed an agreement on security guarantees. The agreement entails that the United States will train the Ukrainian military for 10 years, cooperate with Ukraine in the production of weapons and equipment and provide intelligence assistance. However, the document does not contain any clause on financial obligations on the part of Washington.
